During a hearing on the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Adam Schiff offered a document he contended is proof that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Oh) texted former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to instruct former Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. It turned out to be a doctored document.
Schiff defended what he called his "creatively enhanced version a common practice in our field. Look, the Steele Dossier was entirely bogus, but it led to the appointment of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and four years of investigation of President Trump--a political triumph that justified the false accusations. On top of this, many times I have seen reports from the Babylon Bee and Semi-News in which quotes are totally made up or adulterated from the actual words used by people like myself. If it's okay for them to do it why isn't it okay for me to do it."
Well, it would be okay if Schiff were writing satire, but he is attempting to use his satire as evidence for charges against political rivals. This is not the first time Schiff has tried to use doctored content to push his political vendettas against Republicans. Notably, he manufactured bogus telephone conversations that he used to help initiate the first impeachment trial of former President Trump.
